Archive for January, 2011

Since 2007 Henning has received serval national research awards in Japan working at Waseda University in Tokyo.
Until the end of January 2011 he will now deal with design challenges and opportunities
of portable technologies to support learning activities inside the classroom and outside
across various contexts. A functional software prototype for interactive whiteboards,
and pen-tablets and PDAs has been implemented in order to support learning activities
in the classroom, at home, and in the wild. Futures workshops have been conducted to
sketch out additional scenarios for mobile learning applications, named Pattern Collector,
Natural Ideograms, Contextual Windows, Augmented Tourguide, Mobile Library, and Wiki School.
Drawing from psychological and pedagogical theory we explored their unique potential to
support learning across contexts.
